Hello guys
I am new to the forum, but not to ARC. Before saying anything, I would like to tell you that I love ARC, the more I learn, the more I like it. Please excuse my English.
Now the problem I am getting. On the latest release, 1-31-16 after a saving my project, when re-open, shown the top part of the desktop cut out.
Please see the picture attached. As you may see, the scroll bar on the right is all the way to the top.
I have no way to select and move any of the top projects or controls. My only work around is to Smart-Arrange, but now my desktop is mixed up.
I like to open my project and have my controls arranged in a way it works best for me.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Hello Guys
Thank you very much for the tips. I have been able to Re-arrange, open and close a few times and seems to be working now. Not sure if it had something to do, but I use to save my project in the default location with shortcut creator on my desktop. After customizing my controls again, I saved with a new name in a different location and seems to be working. I am amaze of all your effort to help anybody on a Sunday, faster that I am able to respond. Thanks to all of you: WBS00001, Richard R, Dave Schulpius and of course DJ Sures. Not sure, should I close as resolved? or stays open?
@rubenvogeler We're just passionate so doesn't matter if it is Sunday or Friday... we like being here... That and I live in Canada so there really isn't much else to do until spring...
Unless microsoft fixes their UI, it will have to stay open for ever...
And as mentioned, ensure you have the correct text size since Microsoft changed it to being 125% for some ridiculous reason in Windows 10. Why 125% Some strange arbitrary number that has no relative connection to anything else... why not just increase the font size behind the scenes and make that 100%. That's not how microsoft does things...
Here's the tutorial that explains how to set the text size: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/20
@DJ, Although the solution to this is to set the text size to 100%, it got me thinking again about projects on low resolution monitors. Would it be possible to set the control ribbon to auto-hide similar to how the debug window (and if desired, the windows taskbar) can auto-hide? This would give a little extra project space, and might have also been a solution in this instance where objects were hidden by the control ribbon. (while I am asking how about more virtual desktops? On my biggest project, 3 is not enough).

I'll look into an option for that and see how windows likes it
@Alan that's a great idea... I have a Panasonic toughbook CF-19 that I use sometimes so screen real estate is at a premium...
My Panasonic CF-30 is what led me to ask (although the W3 is pretty tight on space too, when it becomes an embedded device in my steampunk dog it won't matter as much).

steampunk dog? eek
